hi, all.

i'm a bit of a mechanic, but now i'm about to venture into parts unknown.

to add a little humor to your day, with cylinder #1 at tdc, i can put an air 
line into the spark plug hole and it comes right out spark plug hole #2!

so, its time to pull the head.  never btdt.  looked on 311s.org, and in the 
datsunparts manual, but there's not much there.

i can pull carbs and manifolds, and even get them back, so i know how to 
start.  i pulled the engine on this car and put in a new clutch, just to 
give you a little background,  but i've never opened up an engine!

would anyone mind taking a minute and laying out the steps for me?  i know 
its important to keep parts in order and put them back that way, and i know 
torqueing is involved, but other than that i'm clueless.

thanks so much!
